Set the default date in a date slicer visual.

[FGaspar]

Hi,

I have a date slicer visual, with the "Before" option selected:

How can I set to display by default the current date?

Please note that the users can change this date, to retrieve different results.

Best regards,

Filipe Gaspar

@FGaspar , see relative date slicer can fit in your requirements

Hi @amitchandak ,

The key-user would like to select all records from today (or other selected date) back to the oldest date.

Using the relative date could work, but is it possible do do it in a different way - just setting the before value=Now()?

Hi @FGaspar ,

It is not supported to set today or other date as default date in Date slicer in Power BI currently . There is an idea about this issue, please vote it up,  Set date slicers to current date  ,  add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

As a workaround, you may use Relative Date slicer.
